The animations look pretty cool, although I'm sure there will be a great deal of doubts about the animation times.

This is cool news, I've been suggesting a Kinetic Melee set for years, usually using the name "Kinetic Fury".

I imagine the animations in that video are more for showing off the effects than actual combat use.

Yeah, I was kinda hoping for a really fast set like dark melee.

I don't know. That was something like eight different animations I think. I kind of doubt they'd just whip up 'demo' animations but have a separate set for actual use.

The Dual Pistols demo had doves in it, so they do like to show off a little.

You, miss, owe me a new keyboard. Preferably one that doesn't smell or taste like cider.

But the doves were effects thrown in for the demo. All the animations that was on the dual pistols demo transfered over to the live servers. So I'm guessing the animations shown in the kinetic melee video will probably be the same when it goes live.

"Red Ink Woman"? I've seen someone with a "Black Ink Woman" in game, actually.

Maybe. The existing one is called Silk Talon, though, so I'm trying for something like that - you know, in the style of Tsoo paper-mission-boss names. Funny, though... Silk Talon's bio states that her ink is black. Do you remember if this other Black Ink Woman's bio said what the black ink does, by any chance?


Quote:
Tsoo Madams are seldom seen, partly because they normally stay inside bases to keep order and partly because of the enchanted ink used in their tattoos. Black ink empowers the Tsoo with the ability to cloud an enemy's perceptions, allowing a Madam to pass undetected or set herself up for a deadly strike from the shadows.

I'm surprised,, with it's range, there isn't an assault set for kin melee as well, seems like a no-brainer to me.

I dont know what i think of it

one one hand it looks sort of cheesy

on the other hand it looks remarkably like a Telekinesis set so ill look into it.

It's a comic book game - all the powers are cheesy in one way or another - that's what makes them so cool

Well; if she is going to be striking though the air with intangible force, how about Wind Talon or Storm Talon? That would fit both with the nature of her powers and with your other character. Or Far Talon, like the Far Fire bosses.

Something about death magic; its been quite a while.

What's your definition of melee?

Mine is close-ranged combat. You don't have to physically touch someone to be in melee. Kinetic Melee fits the bill for me.


Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

It looks cheesy because it's flashy. Which is what I'd say most of the player base wants, more than actual "must be great DPA numbers"

They want their toons moving about. This is what makes Dual Pistols (imo) the best set (though others agree with me).

If that ball attack is a nuke, I'd accept the slowness of it, the rest looks groovy to me.
